Month 16 & 17

Hey All,

Well its has been a cold few months here in Cockatoo but we have finally made it into Spring! There are lots of flowers coming out and many birds singing. Been a busy few months for me. My mobility is right up there and I can now crawl up onto the couch...Mum and Dad swore a lot and then changed the loungeroom around. I have tumbled off a couple of times but I'm pretty tough!

I do like to recline on the couch and watch a bit of TV in the evening though!

Especially when I can do it with my best friend.

Of course I like to do other things on the couch like read my books, play with my shape sorter, etc.

I'm also partial to crawling into my toy box...

With all this new action Mum and Dad have had to put a few more childlocks on things...here I am reminding Mummy that they are not done up properly...

I'm into hat wearing but this one is a little too small thanks Daddy...

I now have 14 teeth. But Mum thought this photo was too cute not to put in. I only have one tooth at the botom here!

With all these new teeth Mum and Dad keep trying to brush them...I only like it when I can do it myself...

Mum has also been a little concerned about my drinking problem...she says maybe she didn't breastfeed me for long enough...

But I just really like liquids! I LOVE my bath...here is me and my bath buddy. He likes to keep me company and try and lick the water...

Even though he is my best buddy, I don't mind sharing him with my cousin Blake...

Cause he's really cool...

Mummy has been doing lots of work in the back yard...this is how it did look after we had the trees knocked down and chopped up...

And this is how it looks now...Mummy did a lot of digging and dirt moving so I can have a flat space to play on...Mummy says we just have to wait for the grass to grow now!

And she cleaned up the front and put some cool stepping stones in...apparently we have to wait for the plants to grow now too!

New Learnings:

Playing trumpet is a LOT harder than it looks when Daddy does it...

I love reading with Mummy...

And my new bean bag is perfect for reading my books on...

So thats it for me folks! I am still a man of few words (well English ones anyway)...I'm just making Mummy and Daddy hold their breath for when I really start. But Mummy says my comprehension (whatever that is) is fabulous. I'm finally average height so it looks like I'm not going to be a shorty after all!

Love to all,

Asher xxoo
